The only trouble is that there isn't any GPL drivers for this kind of card right now. <br /> And there is no other available on the market . ? Why should i buy a .b if i can get the .g for 20$ + ? <br /> <br /> Anyways .. where is the petition ? In fact you’re absolutely right.

You know the only way to get a drivers will be to reverse an existing one, i think. Broadcom don't want to release the source since they know that other companies will ship some AP w/ Linux and Linksys (or Dlink .. or ..) inside. They 're not so stupid. As they sell the developpement board and OS to Linksys or USR (for a bunch of $$$) why will they release the source ? Done i have post here .. but i guess this will not change anything.
